Students are launching what could be the largest anti-gun protest in Texas history using sex toys

Students at the University of Texas (UT) launched a massive sex-toy protest Wednesday against
state campus carry laws, Dallas News reported.

Dubbed #CocksNotGlocks, the anti-gun demonstration could be the biggest in Texas history and aims to criticise the perceived irony that sex-toys are prohibited on campus while guns are allowed.

“We are strapping gigantic swinging dildos to our backpacks,” Jessica Jin, an organiser of the event told Dallas News. “Just about as effective at protecting us from sociopathic shooters, but much safer for recreational play,” Jin, who recently graduated from UT-Austin, continued.

UT prohibits “obscenity” on campus, which is defined by Texas law as “a dildo or artificial vagina, designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs,” Dallas News reported.

It’s passage sent shockwaves throughout Texas academia and has elicited strong response from students and faculty alike. A dean at UT — one who grew up hunting with a father who was a former Marine and a policeman — even quit as a result.

A group of professors also filed a lawsuit claiming individuals in classrooms would feel less able to speak freely for fear of gun violence from those who disagree and thus, the law violates students’ First Amendment right to free speech. A judge, however, recently denied their request for a preliminary injunction.
